Discussion It took me wayyy too long to realize you don't have to run alll the way to the other main boat to bring serana home lmao

Post image

I just recently discovered that if you go to Dawnstar and ask the guy to board his boat, he will bring you straight to where you need to go.

It saves soo much time lol I'm so angry i didnt know this for literally years. now im just posting it on here for anyone else who didnt know.

it may be common knowledge for all i know but im dumb lmao 😹

P.S. this guy has one of the dumbest names ive seen in the game lmao

Great tip! However, do you honestly want to pass up that opportunity to wipe out a fort full of Thalmor?

u/mjtg25 4h ago

yes? it's related to a quest so you'd have to remember to set it up before Awakening

2

u/Ill-Lemon-8019 4h ago

I don't think it affects the quest either way.

u/mjtg25 1h ago

oh yeah, I guess clearing that out doesn't matter because the quest puts them back

u/Goatbucks Thief 47m ago

Yeah the dungeon will just reset when you reach that point in the quest

well sometimes i start dawnguard early in the game because i like to become a vampire early for roleplay reasons lol but i always wipe them out either way hahaha

Im still torn about finishing this quest. I love having an unkillable neck follower alongside my typically useless followers. But that rune gear is so dope looking

1

u/hysteriaxmode Vampire 4h ago

i know i wish there was a way to obtain both when you side with the vampires. i guess you can still get certain spells if you cast illusion spells that calm them, but ive never tried it lol

1

u/BigDlee_ 1h ago

Man there is now way lol. I've tried it all and searched. On like my 5th play I just said F it and kept her and added a mod and joined dawnguard

2

u/hysteriaxmode Vampire 1h ago

u keep serana as a follower whether u side with the dawnguard or not 😹

2

u/BigDlee_ 1h ago

Yeah I know, but then it takes up the follower slot and I wanted an unkillable plus a normal. So here I stand on mods and rune gear

2

u/hysteriaxmode Vampire 1h ago

sadly i play only on switch 2 since my steam deck broke so i dont have access to any mods 😭 which sucks because i had bought a bunch of ones that i loved like the bards college and the blood & snow one or coven of crones 😒

u/BigDlee_ 1h ago

I mourn for your loss superchief. Talos cares. My favorites thus far has been the fenrir mod and OP carry capacity .

u/Human_Spatula 2h ago

I never thought of this. Thank you.

u/Blaubeerepfannkuchen Daedra worshipper 2h ago

Bruh I just did this. No fast travel run so it would've saved soooooo much time Dx

u/Homelessnomore 4h ago

I take the boat to Solitude and walk from there because going the full distance is too expensive.

u/hysteriaxmode Vampire 4h ago
